Amuses me how people misread this election. We will never again see a '64, '72 or '84 type blowout. Even with Trump. So I'll see stupid articles about how "Hillary can't put Trump away". First of all, pollsters and the newsmedia would never allow polls to show a consistent double digit blowout because people would lose interest in the race. Second, as difficult as it may be for some people to wrap their minds around this, including some USCHO posters, Trump has a floor of the low 40's for support. Yes, there are that many people longing for the 1950's or the 1980's out there. His problem is he has a ceiling that's shrinking by the day. This Khan thing is going to have a more lasting impact than people think. No, he won't go below the low 40's at the end of the day, nor will he lose more states than McCain did. However, he's completely alienated the 10% in the middle. Even the hard core Trump supporters can't defend his Gold Star Family attacks. In fact most articles have to put in the disclaimer that they absolutely don't agree with what he said before they get on to the deflecting and spinning.
So, fear not that he won't lose the race by double digits, something that I don't think has happened since 1984. If he keeps this up he's going to take about 8 GOP Senate seats down with him, and almost every Dem seat held by a Gooper in the House (25+). No, Hillary's not going to win Kentucky or other such nonsense, but if she wins the Obama 2008 states give or take one here or there, that would be a **** solid win especially for someone running in the face of history (3rd Dem term, continuity candidate in change election, no woman ever elected previously, etc).
